Homemade Belgian Waffles
The ultimate breakfast treat! These Homemade Belgian Waffles are crunchy, lightly sweetened, fluffy, and SO much better than traditional waffles.
Ingredients
Waffles
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, separated
- 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1½ cups whole milk, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Waffles:
- Heat waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
- In a medium bowl, beat egg whites to medium stiff peaks. Set aside.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar together in a medium bowl.
- Add milk, egg yolks, melted butter, and vanilla.
- Whisk until smooth.

- Spray waffle iron with cooking spray, or brush with oil.

Notes
Substitutions:
- To make this recipe vegan, you can use 2 ounces of aquafaba in place of the egg whites, as well as your favorite plant based milk and butter.
- Be careful to not over-whip the egg whites! If they are over-whipped, they will dry out and not incorporate into the batter.
- When folding the egg whites into the batter, be very gentle. You don't want to deflate them!
- The amount of waffles this recipe makes/how long the cook time will be will vary depending on the size of your waffle iron.
